A; The Bible. I also enjoy self-help and inspirational books such as those by Wayne Dyer, OG Mandino, Leo Buscaglia; recordings by people such as Norman Vincent Peale, Earl Nightingale and good books about various topics , especially historical events and incidents, such as Kennedy assassination and World War II, etc.
